Agreed. BSG takes a few twists and turns with its characters that you'll
enjoy more if you experience it with the full tension.  The actual
destination isn't all that surprising but how they get there is.

For me, the show hit its low point in the beginning of season three
(although the first scene of the season is absolutely amazing). I didn't
mind that they were just going crazier and crazier with making up the
island's backstory as they went on; I enjoyed most of that.   But the
melodramatic main three characters were especially unbearable during that
time and they monopolized the show's time while other plot lines were simply
abandoned. Anyway, they recovered or manufactured some focus by the end of
that season.  That's supposedly when they planned out the basic plot until
the finale.  And I loved season four onwards.  I was certainly more and more
obsessed with the show after each season. (DO avoid spoilers! Even moreso
than with BSG.)

I'll be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the Lost finale, should
you ever get there.
